Opening Theme

Terrible Tudors, gorgeous Georgians
Slimy Stuarts, vile Victorians
Woeful wars, ferocious fights
Dingy castles, daring knights

Horrors that defy description
Cut-throat Celts, awful Egyptians
Vicious Vikings, cruel crime
Punishments from ancient times

Romans, rotten, rank and ruthless
Cavemen, savage, fearsome, toothless
Groovy Greeks, brainy sages
Mean and measly Middle Ages

Gory stories, we do that
And your host, a talking rat
The past is no longer a mystery
Welcome to Horrible Histories
